I was on good terms at one time with several Heavylift crew members, certainly at the beginning of the operation, they IL-76s were strictly call out for oil spill and crew training. The crews were accommodated in some very large caravans near Duxford. Mobile home sized beasts, but just how mobile I’m not sure.
perhaps later in the contract the CAA became more flexible? I honestly don’t know.
Hope it helps
